We lived in a rowhome growing up and the kids at the one end of the row would shoot rockets at some kids at the other end who were also shooting rockets. We lived in the center and watched the attacks from our bedroom window.

LOVE fireworks. It's just something in our DNA makeup. I remember gathering around fireworks catalogs in gradeschool...all the boys huddled around as each page was slowly turned to reveal mortars and roman candles and rockets of every shape.... and they weren't even legal in PA.

Ok J'sshadow, I'm sure the neighbors won't mind! My wife will just roll her eyes and wish me luck. Hey rot, when I watch those history channel shows about ancient Chinese inventing fireworks, I wonder who the first idiotWas who turned it on his friends?

Reminded me of a memory: We bought those wrist-rocket sling shots as kids and took them to a local wooded area...after ten minutes of shooting them at trees or at giant rocks, it seemed like instinct to point them at each other. We went running in opposite directions screaming and ducking.

Lol! I was preparing for an eye roll-fest but this was extremely amusing. Maybe because I grew up with brothers. So glad we live in a city that allows fireworks. My son had the chance to help set them off this year. So fun.
